LOS ANGELES -- LA Clippers All-Star Kawhi Leonard left Crypto.com Arena in the first half against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night because of back spasms, and his status is uncertain for the team's upcoming back-to-back on the road.

The Clippers said Leonard was suffering from thoracic spasms. A source said Leonard went home to rest rather than sit in discomfort with the spasms at the arena.

Coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard has been dealing with the issue for a couple of days and that the team did not know whether its franchise star would be able to suit up against Minnesota.
